The intent to sell amount is so small in many cases that yes... people did time for ‘intent’ but never sold a joint.

The Puritan-prohibition POV expressed on this thread is the epitome of why conservatives haven’t long since won over Joe Normal.

Be like me and vape only a micro-dose (probably 3mg or less). Helps me sleep and/or feel much better for a few hours. Not high by any means. Just from feeling poor to feeling “normal”.

[polymuser]

LOL :)

Not his decision. Congress will have to repeal it and he can decide it.

Incorrect. The President has a duty to not follow a law if it's unConstitutional. The most he can do is regulate interstate stuff, and imports from other countries. That's it.

I went to jail for possession of less than 7 grams.

So I guess I am NOBODY!

I vote straight R in Florida and he tells me to go to Hell.

[sport]

So? Are you going? I get told to go there all the time. I don’t go, I just ignore them.

I don’t think so. Nixon made it a schedule one drug by EO, ironically after his own blue ribbon commission recommended federal legalization. Trump could remove it.

[Does so]

“Medical” was a foot in the door. Voting on “recreational” brought more Dims to vote (this time).

[Does so]

“Marijuana legalization had a very good election night on Tuesday.”

Kiosks with free marijuana, couches, crunchies, at public parks on election day.

The Controlled Substances Act section 811 gives scheduling and descheduling authority to the Attorney General.

Marijuana will make submission to Islam and or invading hordes much more tolerable.

[NobleFree]

So will alcohol - should that drug be illegal?

[Leep]

Yes..if they are doing massive quantities of booze several times a day..everyday.
So,we agree?

[Leep]

To be clear I was agreeing that any heavily used intoxicant will make submission to Islam and or invading hordes much easier.
Legal or not.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So this AG could deschedule it and the next could put it back on the list?

[Svartalfiar]

And Amendments IX and X say any powers not granted to the FedGov, the FedGov doesn’t get. It took a Constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, what’s so different about hemp/marijuana (or ANY other drug) that the FedGov doesn’t need an amendment to get involved in? What power do they have to legally pass the Controlled Substances Act?

[chris37]

I don’t know!

That decision is up to The Big Guy upstairs.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Intoxicants to keep the people easily controlled. This is what happens when people don’t read. SOMA, pot, what’s the difference...
